Pregnant woman exposed to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields

The aim of this paper is to present recent advances in modelling a three dimensional anatomic model of a pregnant woman and foetus exposed to extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields. The case scenario is focused on the exposure to high voltage power transmission lines. The paper presents the background theory, together with the BEM computational implementation and results. The latter are expressed in terms of current density, potential and electric field in the different tissues. This work is part of an ongoing research whose overall objectives are to provide accurate estimations of fields and induced currents for assessing exposure of human bodies to electro-magnetic fields.
